Specification of Iietters Patent.

flatented Iltar. it. HHS.

To all whom itmay concern: 'Be it known that I, JOHN WlLLY, a citi- -zen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco 5 and State of Galifornia, have invented a new and useful VVave-lllotonof which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

and its objects are to provide means whereby the rotary movement given the paddle wheel may be transmitted to suitable pumps for storing water at any desired elevation, and whereby the up and down movement. given to the paddle wheel and its supporting parts may be transmitted to other pumps for storing water; i

Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for use over a considerable distance, the object being to provide means whereby the breakers may be utilized at either low tide or at high tide. It will be understood that at low tide the breakers will form at a different place from which they form at high tide, and the apparatus must be moved accordingly, in order to make use of the greatest waves.

Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby one or more pumps may be operated by the apparatus at a given time, since with heavy waves breaking more power would be generated than with low waves breaking, in which event it. would be necessary to throw out of operation some of the pumps.

.."\nother object of the invention is to provide means whereby the paddle wheels will be supported above the surface of the ground when the apparatus is used in shallow water, thus preventing the breakage of said wheels upon striking the bottom.

Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the power transmitting mechanism may be lifted out of the water to avoid injury thereto at times of great storms.

Another object. of the invention is to pro vide a float shield to prevent the waves from breaking over the paddle wheel, and thus either destroying it or delivering en ergy thereto in such a manner to tend to rotate the wheel in the reverse direction from which it should rotate.

inother object of the float. shield is lo direct the current of the waves below the axis This invention relates to a wave motor of the paddle wheel. and in the same manner develop power by the lifting of the entire n'iass.

Another object of the invention is to provide ll'ltftjlltllllczll means whereby the float shield and paddle wheel journaled therein will be lifted outof the water as evenlyas possible, a rack bar at each end of the paddle wheel being used to accomplish this object.

Another object of the invention is to provide a paddle wheel which will have such buoyancy as to prevent the complete submersion thereof in the water, the aincham her used in said paddle wheel supporting the same with the majority ol' the wheel above the surface of the water.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide a pier .t'or the installation of the motor. which will be merely placed in position and which is of suflicient strength and rigidity to dispense with the necessity of driving piles or caissons.

In the drawings in which the same numoral of reference is applied to identical portions throughout all of. the views, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention showing a porticn of its supporting structure. the large arrow thereon indicating the award side and the direction from which the waves strike. the float; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the ap 'i'aratus shown in Fig. I: Fig. it is an end elevation of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, a portion of the paddle wheel and the hood thereof being broken away for lhc purpose of illustration.

Supported upon the bearii'igs projecting from the bars 1- 4- at one end of the truck are downwardly extending members 12, said members being properly 't-russedand connected together, and they are covered over to form air chambers 13 and 1-4. At the lower end of the members 12, a hood 15 is extended over the paddle Wheel 16, said paddle wheel being journaled upon the shaft- 17. at the lower end of the members 12. Connecting the upper portion of the truck and lllGfl'iUllO 9 are two are shaped guides 18 and 19 said guides having the radius of the members 12, and' iorming means whereby the paddle wheel is caused to move in the same path at all times. Anti-friction wheels 20 being secured to the hood 15 and members 12 respectively. The shaft 17 carries a bevel gear at each end thereof, and each bevel gear is in mesh with a bevel gear 23 on a shaft 24. The latter shaft extending from the lower aortion of th members 12 to the upper portion thereof, and having a bevel gear 25 thereon. which latter is in meeh with a bevel gear :26 on a transverse crankshaft 27. The crankshaft 27 is journaled in suitable boxes in the truck 7 and it is provided with. two cranks 28. The side rails of the truck '7 are connected by means of cross bars 29, a0, a1, so. at, as. and upcn which cross bar; flooring may be placed as desire l. l i

It will be observed that nearly under the cross barfil is a second cross bar 40. The bars 3i and 40. being spaced far enough apart to permit the necessary vertical movement of the pitmen 42. The shaft if? cX- tends entirely across the truck and supported at its ends at the sides of the truck and near the center on bars 44 which aQX tend from the cross bar 29 forwardly and upwardly to the cross bar Ell. Y

It will be observed that the bar 44 112155 a fXifl-I'lHQ 45 thereon which sluiports the side inemliers 12. said bearing relieving the shaft 327. which passes thcrctlirough of the it the paddle wheel and inclined support carrying the same. The pitmen 1-2 are connected with a bar 46. said bar having enlargements 4T thereon which carry the spring members 48.

The spring;- members {l8 are intended to relieve the shock of the pumps and are {'OI'HWtl oil a thin plate having depending ends all) and 50. The depending end 45) bein inclined to permit the easy insertion between said plates of the pump link see Figs. l6, l7. and it).

The upper portion of the member 48 i in a recess oil. the enlargement 47 and the'de ivcrulia r ends are committed by means a. bolt :33. a heavy spring- Ji-t being placed to hold the member 48 tightly :L jillilli the point There are two of point 58 of the these members 48 in each enlargement 47 of the rod 46 and each one retreats into a re cess 55 in said enlargement when a heavy thrust is put upon the point 58.

i The point 58 is broad enough so that when such a heavy thrust put upon it that it strikes the shoulders 56, said shoulders preventing the-destruction of the springs S-t. The bar at? is supported at its ends by means of plates 57, which plates carry tour guide wheels 58 running on tracks 59 and see l igs, 11 and 12. The upper track 60 is Supported by means of slotted uprights (31 and said upper traelg titl is adjustable in said slotted uprights (31 to enable the plate 57 to be properly held in position when the bar is reciprocatcd back and forth by the pitmen. This guide construction-is repeated on each side of the truck 7.

$10 Supported upon the cross bars 32 and 4!) are two pump cylinders 62 and 5 3, each having piston rods (it. Each of the, piston rods (34 is provided with one of the links 52 to enable the pump to be operated from the rod 16. Facing in the opposite direction from the pumps (32 and (33 and supported upon the cross bars 323 and 36 are two other pump cylinders and (36, each cylinder having a piston rod (37 and having connected therewith the link 52. Near the other end of the truck is a separate pump systen'i operated by the IiSE and fall of the paddle wheel and member 12. Connected with the hood 15 on each side thereof is a frame 68 which has a rack bar 69 pivoted thereto, there being two of said rack bars, one at each end of said paddle wheel.

The rack bar is supported upon one side by means of a roller 70 carried on a shaft 71, said roller ha ving its periphery V shaped t prevent side motion of the rack bar. The teeth of the rack bar mesh with a gear wheel in, said gear wheel being carried by means oi a shaft 73-3 supported in lu'ackets 74 a short distance above'the top oi the truck.

it is to be noted that there are two of tile rollers 70 and twr of the gears 72. The shaft T? is prov ded with two cranks 71 which have? the pitmen t?) connected there with. The piln'ien 43 connect with a bar 75 exactly similar to the bar 46 and each is provided with the same accessorie and each connected at will with the pumps 7%, 77, 7 rod 79, thosanie as the pumps 92, (i- (l5 and 66 are connected to the, bar alt).

A suitable inlet pipe Ht) is connected with the 'puu'ip system. a portion of said connecvion heing on'iittcd for cicuiness. and an outpipe fit is also onmiricd with said pump syste i, omlct pipe having flexible -l to connect with the main diseharge pi pi, ti l.

It will be ob erved citzarw pipe hm l in t de 'ientli'z all) "iii

that the main disa plurality of hose conned 1g tl'iere'i oim (he object being to connect one set of said hose with one set of said connections while the other set is connected with another set of connections 85 on the pipe 84. It is thus possible to move the truck longitudinally without stopping the flow of water through the discharge pi )e 81. It is, of course, assumed, that-suitable valves will be placed in said pipe system to direct the flow of the water at will.

In order that the paddle wheel and float may be raised out of the water when it is desired to repair the same or do other work in connection therewith, or to avoid injury thereto in storms a shaft 87 is supported on the top of the brackets 74 and secured to one of said brackets 74 is a laterally extending frame 88 having a plate $9 to confine the wheel 90 which is used for the purpose of moving said shaft longitudinally. This wheel 90 is threaded on the shaft 87 and by rotating said wheel the shaft may be moved longitudinal sufliciently to engage the small gear wheels 9] with the gear wheels 72, and when said gear wheels are so engaged a link 93, hinged on the frame 88 may be dropped into the grooved hub 94 on the shaft 87 to prevent said wheels from becom: in disengaged. The float may then be lifted by turning the crank 95 and when it is as high as may be desired the chain 96 may be hooked into rings 97 on the housing 15. i i

Since it is contemplated that this apparatus shall be used over a considerable dislance, owing to changes in the tides and in the position of the largest breakers, cables 98 and 99 are provided for moving the truck in opposite directions.

The cables are ctmnected at their ends with suitable fixed ymrtions of the pie' and they pass in opposite directions around the drums 100 on the shaft 1.01. This shaft 101 is operated by means of a gear wheel 102 carried thereby, said gear wheel being in mesh with a small gear 103 on a short shaft 101-. which latter istm ned with the crank 105.

The gear wheel 102 is provided with a plurality of holes 10o. the object being to shift the posit-ion of the truck as. may be desired. and then to insert a bar through one of said holes to hold the truck in the. desired position. The paddle wheel 16 is formed with a disk 108 at each end, each of said disks having a circular llange 109 and radial flanges 110. The circular flange 01' said disk is for the purpose of securing the air drum 111 to the said disk and the radial flanges 110 are "for the purpose of sia-uring the paddle blades 112 to said wheels. The object of providing said paddle wheel with the drum 111 is to give said paddle wheel sutlicient buoyancy to forcibly lilt all of the apparatus connected to said depemliug members 12, and the object of &

the air chambers 13 and 14 is to receive the impact of larger Waves and prevent them.

from striking the paddle wheel above the axis thereof, and also to assistin lilting 12 are two pump cylinders 192, and. connectcd with the piston rods thereof are the links 52 thesame shown in 1, the

the paddle wheel and at-tacl'nnents. The discharge pipe 81 is supported adpicent the uprights 2 bymeans of brackets 113.

' l The operation of this form of the invenobject being to operate either or both of lien is as follows The, arrow on said pump cylinders 122 as may be desired.

Connected with thebars for protection to the'paddle wheels in the tilt) and lill and the bar 135 are two rails shape of air drums 1L1 which are loosely 139 and l-l-O, said rails forming the support journaled on the shaft carrying the paddle :lor the upper end of the i'loat- 14-1, a roller wheel. These air drums are carried by the same shaft as the paddle wheel and one is provided at each end of said paddle wheel. said. air drums being of such diameter as to support the paddle .wheels clear of the ground, as shown in the view illustrating the same, when the water has receded l ar enough to permit this, thus allowing the paddle wheel. to rotate freely at all times.

The above figure showing the air-drums supporting the paddle wheels above the surlace of the ground also illustrates a slightl il -3 being secured to said float to permit the motion tl'ierco't with as little friction as possible. The braces connect the paddle wheel shaft and rectangular frame l-l -h which l rau'ie is provided with eight anti Friction rollers 144; and eight anti-lk'iction rollers 14-5.

This bevel gear is of such construction that it can be rotated by the sl'ia't't Il l- 'i While the said shaft is reciprocaied longitiulinally therethrough. Said gear coinprir a central portion 155 with ich the gear proper is cast integral, re-

liltl being provided for rollers 157. 'llhe rollers 157 are four in number, two above the plane of the bevel gear and two below the same, and they are so placed as to bear upon the stpiare portion of the shaftl-l-S, and they transmit the torque of said shalt to said gear 151. At each side of the gear a hood 158 is secured thereto, said hood having an opuiiiig larger than the shaft 1 18 which passes therethrough. Each hood is prwided with a bearing 159 to support the bevel gear.- lhese two shafts 14:8 transmit any rotary motion from the paddle wheels to the pump sy tein as will be explained later, liut in addition to this rotary motion thoriis pmver produced by the rise and fall of the tloat paddle wheelsfand since the paddle wheel directed in ii. Straight line in its rise and fall by the rails 135 and 136. It possible to produce power therefrom. readily by means of a rack bar 160 which is ronnecled at its lower end to the upper por- There are two oftion of the frame 143. these rack bars 160, one at each end of the -frame 143 and they are connected at their upper ends to a bar 161, which cross bar also forms a support for the upper ends of the shafts 1&8, the object being to provide means whereby said shafts and said rack bars may be reciprocated Without undue Friction upon the shafts to which they transn'iit motion.

The bar ltll carries a pair of brackets 162, said brackets supporting grooved rollers 163. Extending above the truckis a perpendicular supi'iort- 164; which is connected with an inclined rail 165 which forms a support for the rollers 16?). The object of this is to carry the weight of the rack bars with as little l'riction as possible and in this way permit the entire power transmitted to them ltitl with which they are in mesh there being one gear for ach rack bar, said gears being supported upon the crank shaft 167 which is journaled iii the trame lo-l. The crank shaft 167 is provided with two cranks ltirl. each having a p'itinan ltltlctmnectcd therewith and which is manna-led to a pump system the same as hard with the other forms of the invention, but which is not shown in. this figure.

The bar 7 is connected with any one of several pump cylinders 173, the same as are the bars 75 in the other forms of the invention, said pump cylinders having an inlet pipe 174 and a discharge pipe 175 in connection with the main discharge pipe 84, the connection being made in the same manner as that-previously described.

.It is intended in every instance that the truck shall be moved along the rails 5 to such a place as will produce the best results from the breakers of the Fort at .i'hatever stage the tide may be.

From the above a that in ope rocated either the paddle wt movement t: heel and the float to which it. is The result being that the inosl. ol'u-ctp-il form of structure to resist; tin, altowaves is produced.

"ll'ion it will be seen will be recipinovcment of up and down it to the pumps will lift water ainmmt the pistons s1, 1 x each pump is equipped with a usual valve system, and since the thri l indlcd thereby is substantially incompreasiole, so that while the paddle wheel may not eon'ipletely rotate itwill cause more or l rotation of the crank shaft to which it i connected and the rack bars will cause a l eater or less rotation of the gears in i .h therewith which .will cause a corresponding movement of the pistons connected thereto.

In the last term of the invention the operation substantially the same save that the paddle wheel is caused to move in a straight line by the guides, the upper end of it being supported to move longitudinally and also through whatever angle the paddle wheel moves in its travel up and down.

In the form of the invention shown i Fig. 21, the numeral 180 re resents a shaft having a crank 181 at eaci end, and this shaft provided with a larger float 182 adjacent each end, and the shaft supports four 183 which are smaller in diameter than the large float. These floats 183 are separated from the floats 182 and from each other by means of disks 184. Each of these disks is provided with eight grooves 185 for the insertion therein of the bases of the paddles 180. It will be noted that there are five rows of these puddles, eight paddles in each row, suitable bolts securing the paddles in place in the disks. "he floats 183 are formed of any suitable material and are secured to a boss 187, said boss being forced tightly upon the shaft 180 termediate floats are secured tightly upon there being transforming means,

shield, floats carried by said the shaft 180 and any motion of the waves luble tends to rotate said shaft, but the floats 182 are loosely journaled upon said shaft in order that the power of the waves may be exerted to rotate the paddles and drums 18;? even though the larger floats 182 are resting upon the surface of the ground in shallow water, said floats 182 being of sufiieient diameter to prevent injury to the paddles and smaller floats.
